Open House Math Class

SYMPOSIA BOOKSTORE, 5th and Washington
MATH CLASS
5 – 9 years old

SATURDAY, February 27, 2010
10.30am-11.30am

The first 30-45 minutes will be a sample class followed by 15 minutes informational session for parents. The class is intended to give personal attention to a child’ needs so that she or he can have better learning experience in mathematics. Some children love math and need more challenge in it; some children struggle with math and needs some encouragement with it; this class is intended to cater both aspects. The class will reflect my personality as a teacher, who loves conversations, jokes, and thorough explanations.

Details:
We will approach mathematics in a way that is serious, yet fun; we will combine traditional and progressive approach to it knowing that mathematics is not just numbers; rather it is about the order of thoughts and events, which require logic, in a daily basis.

My goal is for your child to understand mathematics so that they will be able to have fun in learning. By understanding the basic foundation of a subject matter, a child can have the necessary tools for the next levels to come.
